A Highland piper, belly dancers, music and dance all played a part in making a Shipley gala a huge success.
The warm weather brought scores of visitors to the Rae Gala in Northcliffe Woods yesterday. Many brought deckchairs and settled down with an ice cream in the sun to watch the entertainment from the Bingley Belles Belly Dancers, the Gordon Wilson Dance Academy and music from the Clifton Lightcliffe Band.
There was also microchipping for dogs, Indian head massage, a display of owls, stalls and animals from Bradford City Farm.
Veronica Youngson led the annual Rae Gala Walk around Northcliffe looking at the flora of the woods and discussing the history of the area.
The gala is held annually to commemorate the buying of the woods by Sir Norman Rae as a public space.
